Put here all relevant material for students
To do
- Email to students with Zoom details
Guidelines
Lecture format:
- divide each lecture in 2 (or 4) topics,
- ask the students to write lecture notes of 4-6 pages of a topic in groups of 3 students,
- derivation of equations in appendix
- a template of the lecture notes for each topic will be provided.
Exam:
- lecture notes
- each group takes lecture notes on 1 (or 2) topic(s) they were not involved in, and presents this in 15 minutes to the rest of the group.
Groups
Groups of 3 students each to work on the assignments.
